Yep, because Wigan Warriors are the sort of tenants who, when they aren't keeping the stadium alive for half the season, are causing so much trouble to its owners that it can only be a matter of time before they are lawfully evicted.
That's a mighty big 'if' you quoted there.'"
More scousers clutching at straws Cruncher. If Wigan were only able to use the DW entirely at the whim of Uncle Dave and could be chucked out at a moment's notice no auditor would sign off our accounts on a going concern basis (and of course it would have been bonkers for IL to buy the club in the first place if that was the property position).
Great stuff though. I wonder what comedic gems are coming our way next from Merseyside. Can't wait!

| This is the same Dave Whelan, who in his book Playing to Win, wrote "Wigan is a Rugby Town".

funds were given to DW to help fund it for both clubs by the council and he would have to buy out the lease as if we are upholding our side he would have no right to termiante it without compensating us.

As far as I can see none of your posts have been moved to the trash can and nothing seems to have been edited, so what exactly have you been censored on?

I suppose when you've been made to look a bit silly, you need to make things up to change the subject as quickly as possible.

| Frankly the arguments over the advantages and disadvantages of owning and leasing respectively have been done to death in various threads on this and other boards.
All that I would say is that I do not believe that there is a single Saints supporter who would rather we play at a rented stadium with better facilities than our own Langtree Park whatever the serious teething problems.
In contrast there are many Wigan supporters who have been honest enough to admit in earlier threads that they would prefer that Wigan RL play at a stadium that they owned rather than the DW.

My apologies for a slight derail, however, I belive the arguments over purchasing and leasing haven't quite been fully consideredhttps://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f-fhLVKHjoE/SlD5AUbAMPI/AAAAAAAAATo/VQxw12-uX50/s1600/heather.jpg" >
Leasinghttps://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f-fhLVKHjoE/SlD474ZK6RI/AAAAAAAAATg/oHRYXKLXYT0/s1600/kristen.jpg" >
Had Paul McCartney "employed" Kristen for 5 years, he would have paid $7.3 million in total, for an hour of sex everynight for 5 years; a $41.7 million savings.
Value-added benefits are:
a 22 year old hot babe
no begging
no coaxing
never a headache
happily agrees to all requests
no bitching and complaining
no honey-do lists
Best of all, she leaves when you're done, and comes back when asked.
All at 1/7th the cost and no legal fees.
Sometimes leasing just makes more sense.

Regardless of what fans may think, it ultimately may depend on whether you can afford the life-long upkeep of your stadium.
I'm not saying Saints can't, but constantly having to fork out for costly repair bills would be one undeniable argument against owning your own stadium.

Where has anyone stopped you expressing your views? You have your opinion and I'll have mine. There's a big difference between people having differing opinions and people not being allowed to express their views. Or are you just upset that no one agrees?
MrSmith, You have a valid point. And I along with most other people wouldn't mind having our own home but regardless am quite happy as we are. It just so happens that in this particular hypothetical scenario, (lets remember the DW isn't actually damaged... It can withstand a bit of wind.... ) being a tenant works massively in our favour and is one of the few plus points.

| Quote: TrentBarrett "Your correct, St Helen's have life cycle costing to consider and with structural issues incurring at this stage we could see maintenance cost soar over the years, that's one thing our club doesn't have to worry about financially.'"
We don't know what the issues with the roof have been. All that may be required are a few more fasteners to hold the aluminium in place. There could be something more serious behind the problem. I doubt anyone outside the club will get to know the truth. But one thing that is very likely is that there will be a warranty on the building work and so the damage should cost Saints precisely nothing, except in lost revenue from the shop which closed for a day. But even that is quite likely to be made up at some future date as fans will simply return on another day to purchase what they intended to purchase when the shop had to close.

On the other hand, New York Governor Elliot Spitzer's hooker, Kristen, an absolute stunner with a body like no other, charges $4,000 an hour. For anything!
This is Kristen.

£4000 an hour.
Wonder is she does a pro-rata rate?
